The more respect you give to others, the more you earn.

You are often your own harshest authority. Let yourself be free.

The respect you show to others is an immediate reflection of your own self-respect.

Instead of saving humanity, every person should save himself.

No one is going to value you more than you value yourself.

Be honest with who you are. Be honest with who you are not.

Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.

Our self-respect tracks our choices.

I don’t want everyone to like me; I should think less of myself if some people did.

The final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.

That’s what I grew up with. I didn’t aspire to be anything besides that.

Society rewards confidence. Nature rewards knowledge.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. That’s real power.

Never lose yourself to find others.

Never trade respect for attention.

The real power comes from being real.

Stop quitting when it gets hard.

Don’t let loving someone be the reason you allow them to hurt you.

Renounce all external authority.
